The original HMS Dreadnought, called the

Torrington, was launched in 1654, and its name

was later changed to Dreadnought (fear nothing).

This Dreadnought was launched in 1906, and 

was the first of a larger and more powerful class

 of battleships.

This commemorative teaspoon, highlighted with

blue and white enamel, is in superb, original

condition, with no faults.

I do not know what the D.S and A.S represent.
